What was the first Pokemon you ever caught?

[Rantaro]

The first I ever caught on a game I owned I believe was a Hoothoot on Route 29 in Gold.

The first I ever caught in general was a Zubat in Mt. Moon when I took my cousin's Yellow version without permission haha.

 

[Amberfunk]

It was a rattata in crystal.

 

[Tactician Karina]

Pretty sure it was a Pidgey in Red.

 

[Jammy2A]

O_O *...drudging memory from 20 years ago...*

uh... well... it's 50% likely to be a Pidgey and 50% likely to be a Rattata on Route 1 in Kanto in Red...

 

[BackSet]

Fletchling, not that it lasted particularly long before being swapped out.

 

[Frozen Fennec]

Pidgey or Sentret in Gold.

 

[Fairy Type Arceus]

Probably a pidgey. I had fire red and I remember taking pidegeot all the way to the hall of fame (along with butterfree)

 

[Almonds]

Probably a Pidgey in Gen 1.

 

[Ivan the Dragon]

Think it was Caterpie in pokemon Red

 

[Camille]

Pretty sure it was a Pidgey in FireRed.

 

[swiftfox]

I think it was a Pidgey in Red, but it's hard to remember that far back.

Bonus answer: A Purrloin in White when I got back into the franchise after an 8-year hiatus.

 

[Moyajaru]

A Pidgey in Pokémon Blue, who I've also brought as Pidgeot to the Hall of Fame (and level 100 too).

 

[IndigoBlue]

Not counting starters... probably a Ratata or Pidgey in Yellow. I remember first encountering Nidorans soon after and thinking how cool they looked.

 

[Ghost girl]

Mine was Grubbin in Sheild.... but my switch deleted EVERY ON IT so... I can't rember and that one dosen't count as my pinchy (I nicknamed Grubbin pinchy) will always be on top he had just evolved you cruel cruel world

 

[MizuTaipu]

A Hoothoot in Gold, I think. I remember it was night because I had no idea what Daylight Savings was when that prompt came up at the beginning of the game so I just chose a random time.

 

[Arendtte]

I believe it was a Pidgey in Pokemon Yellow.
I do remember my first shiny Pokemon I caught. It was a Caterpie in Pokemon Gold.

 

[Neyo]

The Poochyena in AS. It . . . was pretty weak to be honest.

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

I think it was a Poochyena in Emerald way back, but I’m not sure.

I eventually made a running gag out of capturing an uncanny amount of Poochyena just so I could name them complaints on having captured them.

I was a great pet owner, why do you ask?

 

[trubbish-eat-rubbish]

Sentret in Pokémon Silver. I caught it because I thought it was cute, but didn't use it because it's Normal-type and I was convinced that it was the weakest type.

 

[RK9]

It was a Kanto mon since it was Pokémon Blue but I truly have no idea which one. I think it might have been a Pidgey?
